Set in 1980s Toronto, James & Eddie explores the friendship between two Korean families navigating life in an unfamiliar city. Through the eyes of Eun-Kyung, the youngest daughter in one of the families, audiences are taken on a memory-filled journey of post-war trauma, cultural invisibility, resilience, and the fragile bonds between parents and children.
With theatrical skill, honesty, and childlike wonder, James & Eddie weave moments of joy with the stark realities of immigrant life. The play is both a cultural reckoning and a tender act of remembrance, asking how families can forgive in the shadow of inherited history.
